1 '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK M. Bocen'ron citizen of the United States,residing a Reno, in the county of Washoe and State f Nevada, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Camp-Stoves, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to stoves having such construction that the partscomprising the stove may be separated and packed into It consists in thecombination and arrangement of parts and in details of constructionwhich Wlll be more fully explained by reference to the accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of the stove. 2is a transverse section. Fig. 3 is a horizontal se tion of the junctionof side and d plates. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a portion of'oneof the sides 4, showing one of the guide channels forn'ied thereon.Figs. 5 and 6 are perspective views showing It is the object of myinventionto provide a stove of what is known as the ,kncck down class,1n which the" parts comprising as to occu y a small space, be easi y andeconomical. y transported, andin which the construction and arrangementof the parts is such that it is not liable to warpor get out of shape bythe heat, while providing a large fire-box for burning light fuel and acomplete circulation around the oven, and such other details as will bemore fully explained in the following specification: Thestove, oven, andfire-box consist of a series of rectangular lates, a portion of theseplates having c iannels A formed, by double seaming portions of theplates in such a manner that the edges of other plates standing at rightangles therewith may be held in the channels to com lete the structure.

A is the bottom plate of the stove which is rectangular in shape. At apoint in lines corresponding with the length and width,

this plate is double-seamed or folded so as to form. channels as shownat 2, which channels are adapted /to receive the lower edges of thevertical side and end plates forming the upper part or body of thestove.

ends 3, the lower edges of which fit into depth to fit into the channelsformed by double-seaming, or Foldmg the upper ends of the angular legs8, as shown at 9. These legs are readlly slipped --uon the four anglesat the bottom of the p ate 3, thus forming a support for the stove.Theside plates 4 and the end plates 5 and their lower edges fitting intothe channels 2 formed by the double seaming or Hanging around the.periphery of the plate A. The upper dges of these side slates are fittedinto corresponding channels 2 which are formed in like manner bydouble-seaming or folding the peripheral edges of the top 17.

The lates 4 have the central portionof the cm s bent at right angles,and doubleseamed or folded, as shown at 7 to receive-,th'e edges of theplates 5 and t5, and thus complete the structure. The portion. of theplates 4 which extend above and helow these channeled parts 7 are ofsulliciont grooves or channels 2 and 2*- of the bottom and top.

Tlie'ovenis formed of rectangular plates 11, 12 and 13 which extendbetween the sides of the plates '4. These plates 4 have angle ironstrips riveted or secured to them to form channels as shown at wand 14,-and the hottom, top and sides 11-, 12 and 13 have their ends fitted intothese channels so as to com; plots the rectangular oven structure. Thesearts are firmly locked. together by means of hooks engagingcorresponding eyes or sockets as shown at 20 'lhefirc'box located at 21is only indicated lIl outline in ldlg. 1, and is constructed in a mannersimilar to the oven exce t that it is open at the upper part to allow tis escape of heat.

The firebox and oven are so located Within the outer structure composedof the sides and ends 4, 5 and 6 that heat may pass freely around theoven. Its direction is determined hy means of a damper 1.5 having ahandle 16, so that this damper may be closed to allow the heat to passabove the oven and to an escape flue at 22; or by opening it, to allowthe heat also to ass around the lower part of the oven. Thcoublollangingorfoldmg. of the various plates forming the stove, so as toform channels, as previously de scribed, also makes the plates morerigid,'prcvents their being casil y bent or warped out of shape.

In order to pack the stove for transportation, the various plates areseparated from '6, forming the upper part ol" the stove have may. be *pace each'other,"and the bottom A beinginverted so thatthesides 3 areupward, it forms 'a box into which all the end,-'-side andfoven plates*Qf hef ip Q vin this receptacle; I Thejtopl?hasait'sgrooves'orpchannels 2 -1 coincident with the upturned edges ofthe" part 3, andit jwill tliiis'ht ver 'this part as'a y invention,
